You know you're a die-hard goat owner when...

...you get AluShield all over your phone and its not the first time. In fact, its almost a normal thing.

PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one this has happened to... :P

An Irish Twist

"I also hear that the Irish have a fantastic sense of humor...here's hoping... :^)"

Haha I love Daniel Gardner. I am SO going to Brazil to meet him!! :)

Saint Patrick's Breastplate

I bind unto myself today
The strong name of the Trinity,
By invocation of the same
The Three in One, and One in Three.

I bind this today to me forever
By power of faith, Christ’s incarnation;
His baptism in Jordan river,
His death on the Cross for my salvation;
His bursting from the spicèd tomb,
His riding up the heavenly way,
His coming at the day of doom
I bind unto myself today.

I bind unto myself the power
Of the great love of cherubim;
The sweet “Well done” in judgment hour,
The service of the seraphim,
Confessors’ faith, apostles’ word,
The patriarchs’ prayers, the prophets’ scrolls,
All good deeds done unto the Lord
And purity of virgin souls.

I bind unto myself today
The virtues of the star lit heaven,
The glorious sun’s life giving ray,
The whiteness of the moon at even,
The flashing of the lightning free,
The whirling wind’s tempestuous shocks,
The stable earth, the deep salt sea
Around the old eternal rocks.

I bind unto myself today
The power of God to hold and lead,
His eye to watch, His might to stay,
His ear to hearken to my need.
The wisdom of my God to teach,
His hand to guide, His shield to ward;
The Word of God to give me speech,
His heavenly host to be my guard.

Against the demon snares of sin,
The vice that gives temptation force,
The natural lusts that war within,
The hostile men that mar my course;
Or few or many, far or nigh,
In every place and in all hours,
Against their fierce hostility
I bind to me these holy powers.

Against all Satan’s spells and wiles,
Against false words of heresy,
Against the knowledge that defiles,
Against the heart’s idolatry,
Against the wizard’s evil craft,
Against the death wound and the burning,
The choking wave, the poisoned shaft,
Protect me, Christ, till Thy returning.

Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.

I bind unto myself the name,
The strong name of the Trinity,
By invocation of the same,
The Three in One and One in Three.
By whom all nature hath creation,
Eternal Father, Spirit, Word:
Praise to the Lord of my salvation,
Salvation is of Christ the Lord.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day, y'all!!!! :)

"You know you've had an awesome weekend when.....

....Monday feels like DEATH." -G. A. Franklin.

So...needless to say... I'm like dying with excitement. *runs around in circles screaming then passes out and DIES*

...oops.

Anyway. Then those same two-of-my-favourite-people-in-the-world that I mentioned above will be staying at my house for the rest of the week!! TALK about awesome. :)

~lizzyxxxx

Okay, so I didn't DIE, but I came pretty close...

...or maybe I just felt like it. :P

Yup. I've got bad luck. Extremely bad luck. In FACT, I just know SOMEONE is out to get me.

Why?

Because instead of partying my face off from February 4-6, I GOT. SICK.

Yep. See? This could only happen to ME.
I DID pull an all-nighter with a few of my awesome friends...and went to the mall........ Because I was on drugs and didn't exactly know I had a fever...Advil... not ILLEGAL drugs! *can't BELIEVE you thought of that* So. My mom made me get off the DRUGS. And......my temp shot up. To unbelievable heights. So while everyone else went to the dance, I stayed home and SLEPT.

...I wish....

But NO! My horse had to go and get colic!! So outside I go! Figures... He's all better now. Thankfully.

So. I was sick for the entire next week.

Such is my tale of woe.

The End.
